Rest Day

I decided to take an extra day of rest this week. My ankle is a bit sore from Saturday's soccer match (apparently I turned it) and I didn't sleep so well the last few nights. It's been awhile since I took two consecutive days in a training week to relax, so this felt like the right time to do it.

Below is the follow up to my post yesterday on my eating habits. Here it is: the food I ate today.

Certainly a few non-ideal items on this list, but I felt compelled to tell the truth because it highlights reality.Every day is not perfect and you have to own up to it.

Reading back over things, I didn’t eat enough either.True, I didn’t train today, but I still don’t think this is enough calories for the speed at which my metabolism tends to push things through my body.Part of this limited consumption is due to an empty refrigerator, but most of it is my lazy ass not waking up until 9:15 in the morning and having to rush out the door to be at a meeting by 10:30.My breakfasts are typically much heftier, and the more hours you're awake the more opportunities you have to eat.But, as they say, c’est la vie.On to tomorrow.

I was going to say you should try to incorporate an avocado into your diet for the vitamin and fat content, but then remembered how spoiled we Californians are with our glut of avocados. Can you get them readily in Europe?
